Hi all,

I've been playing this game 12 hrs a day for the past 3 days!

So far I have been to all the lands except Okaar.

I have 3 Mons, all weapons and most of the upgrades - all execpt the sniper
rifle upgrade - anyone know where to get this upgraded?

I'm wandering around between zones lost at the moment - I have just saved
Jan from being killed in okarsankar and have fought korax for the 1st time.

Could someone be kind enough to give me some hints

BTW the guns are soooo much better after they have been upgraded!

Thanks

Ian Beardsworth.

The 4th idol goes in the slot in the temple.

Remember this is not as simple as putting the respective idols in their
respective temples.

I'll start you off - the fae idol goes in the Eluiee Temple, figure out the
rest.

As for the guns - you have to travel through the gate to the city.

Is it such an easy game to play, it sounds like you allmost completed it
because you have allmost all the upgrades and you been to all places except
Okaar (It doesn't say much to me).
I want to buy it, but first I want to play a demo to see how it goes, do you
know it's release (the demo, the full version is out, I know)?
And what computer do you have? My system is:
P200MMX
32 megs of RAM
and a V2 12mb
enough Hard-disk space
Is this system to crappy to run Outcast on?

I'm about to upgrade to a pII 350/400 at least 64mb ram and a TNT1 (not that
that matters for Outcast, I heard it even doesn't support 3D accelerators)

Thanks anyway

Bastiaan

P.s Check www.outcastcentral.com a very cool and complete site!

I'm planning to buy the game in a few days. It is a french game so of course
all this stuff gets released in Europe first.
In France, a magazine released a demo, it is yet illegal to distribute it.
(it's some kind of exclusivity, but you should get it soon.)
I wasn't sure if I wanted to buy the game, now that I played it, I am :-)

This seems real weak to me. Outcast asks for HUGE requirements.
Try the demo at the lowest detail possible.

> and a V2 12mb
Outcast doesn't use hardware acceleration. It is Voxel rendered, not
polygons.
The result is awesome.

Moa,

It's a Belgium game.

Actually, Appeal (Outcast developers) is based in Belgium. And as for exclusivity, warez sites had it at least a week ago. ;P

I have a P233/MMX, 64MB RAM, and an ATI 3D Xpression+PC2TV (Rage II+ chip)--a shit 3D card by today's standards, yet it runs Outcast (at any of its resolutions) and most other current 3D games (Half-Life, Dungeon Keeper 2, and even Trespasser) fine.

Actually, Outcast's engine uses voxels AND polygons. http://www.outcast-game.com/99/html/paradise.html to learn more about it.

This just goes to illustrate that one persons "fine" is another persons "nightmare".

No offense, but you clearly have a very low tolerance for huge pixels
and slow frame-rates. As someone else so succintly put it, Outcast got
hit a little to hard with the ugly stick.

A "high" tolerance, I think you meant to say. :)

LOW tolerance? I'd say I have a very HIGH tolerance considering my system.

The PUBLISHER, Infogrames, may be based in France, but the DEVELOPER, Appeal, is based in Belgium. Appeal made Outcast, not Infogrames.
